Abstract: A hospital bed (10) that is convertible to a chair for patient egress from the foot end of the bed. A patient support platform (18) has se-rially hinged, normally hor-izontal head (28), seat (30), thigh (32) and foot (34) pan-els. To convert the horizon-tal bed to the chair configura-tion, the patient support plat-form (18) in the lowermost vertical position is translated longitudinally toward the foot end of the bed (10). The head panel (28) is pivoted upwardly and the foot panel (34) piv-ots downwardly to a gener-ally vertical attitude. The foot panel (34) includes a collaps-ing portion (46) which tele-scopes into a pivoting portion (44) to thereby avoid interfer-ence with the floor as the foot panel (34) is pivoted to a verti-cal attitude. When converted to the chair configuration, an area is vacated at the foot end of the bed to provide a space for docking a wheelchair or other ambulatory assisting device. The patient's feet rest directly on the floor in the chair configuration in that the foot panel collapses into itself as it pivots downwardly rather than pivoting along a second axis to underlie the patient's feet.

Abstract: A target analyte which may be found in a substance, such as a biological or environmental substance, is assayed by inoculating a media with a sample of the substance. The target analyte is a unique nucleotide sequence of the RNA or DNA of a suspect organism, or any nucleotide target, or a combination of nucleotide sequences thereof, which organism may be found in the substance. The media contains selected target analyte amplifiers which will result in the amplification of any target analytes which are present in the substance. The media may also contain one or more labeled analyte-specific materials (LASMs) which can migrate through the media. The nature of the media is such that it will support target analyte-copying but will not allow the target analyte to migrate extensively within the media.  After the substance to be assayed is added to the media and any target analytes are amplified, the LASMs will migrate by diffusion to resultant target analyte units or colonies in the media, thereby creating intensely labeled localized areas in the media which can be visually or mechanically detected. Each of the intensely labeled areas in the media will be surrounded by low intensity label halos. The number of high intensity labeled sites in the media will be proportional to the concentration of target analytes in the substance.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for the accurately calibrated non-contact capacitive measurement of small distances between relatively movable elements.  The system and method are particularly well-suited for use in environments of high temperature, pressure, and vibration, including in jet engines to measure the gap between fan blades and the engine wall. A sensor disposed in a housing wall receives constant bias voltage and forms a sensing capacitor with the moving targets, which move past the sensor. A blocking capacitor allows a signal generated at the sensor to pass to a constant gain amplifier, which amplifies the signal and passes the amplified signal to a computer for calculating the small distances between the relatively movable elements using the bias, voltage, the gain, and the maxima and/or minima of the amplified output signal.

Abstract: Sensing the level of a liquid in a vessel by the pulse transit  time  technique  is  done  by  means  of  an ultrasonic  transducer  mounted  above  the highest-permissible level in the vessel which emits ultrasonic transmission pulses to the surface of the liquid and receives the ultrasonic echo pulses reflected from the liquid surface. The level in the vessel is established from the transit  time of the ultrasonic  pulses.  To detect an overfill when the ultrasonic transducer is immersed in the liquid the decaying output signal of the ultrasonic transducer generated by the ringing of the ultrasonic transducer following the end of the each ultrasonic  transmission  pulse  is  analyzed.  In this arrangement  the  fact  is  exploited  that  due  to  the better coupling of the ultrasonic  transducer to the liquid than to air the ringing duration is shorter when the ultrasonic transducer is covered by the liquid.

Abstract: A rotational speed sensor (29) generates pulses having a period proportional to the speed of a motor, and a pulse period calculator section (32) calculates the period of the pulses. A jamming determination section (36) calculates the motor load based on the pulse period and determines that an object is jammed when the load exceeds a predetermined threshold. Once it has been judged than an object is jammed, a drive control section (40) stops the motor, then controls the motor for reverse rotation, thereby releasing the object. A door opening and closing detection section (34) further detects the opening or closing operation of a door. If the door is opened or closed, an inhibit control section (38) inhibits jamming judgment for a predetermined period of time thereafter. This prevents an incorrect judgment due to the opening or closing of the door.

Title: Purification of biologically active peptides from milk
Inventor: SHERMAN LEE T
IPC: C07K1/22
Filed: 1997-05-13
Granted: 2008-03-25
Abstract: A method of separating a soluble milk component from milk (e.g., in a closed- loop continuous extraction system) is disclosed. The method involves the use of tangential flow filtration across a membrane to form a retentate and a permeate, subjecting the permeate to a capture device to substantially remove the soluble milk component, combining the effluent from the capture device with the original milk sample (retentate), and continuing this procedure until the milk has been sufficiently purified. Preferably, the milk is combined with a chelating agent, such as EDTA, to improve the purification efficiency. This procedure is advantageously employed with milk from transgenic animals which have been genetically altered to express exogenous proteins, such as therapeutic proteins, in their milk.
